Keeping perspective in examining how we use Apps and iPads can be difficult. Your view will vary on whether your focus is on blindness and low vision, autism, augmentative communication or other conditions. We will examine strengths and weaknesses of iOS devices, and braille technology when used separately in stand-alone mode - or together via VoiceOver. Combining these technologies provides ergonomic and accurate methods to quickly enter text, read eBooks, access dictionary and thesaurus, and navigate web pages via the browser. Includes discussion of using the iPAD in conjunction with a digital assistant with a refreshable braille display and braille keyboard.
